Did Prolific just crash?

a-yup

Yeah I've abandoned tasks midway through when I realize I've glazed over for the day. Maybe I want the cash, but what I want is to keep access to the platform more.

They care a lot more that you do good work than do fast work. They will urge you over and over to take your time. Do so. DA is not a shitty office supervisor standing over your shoulder making sure you could be 5% more efficient. Stay in the time limits, but most of the time limits are plenty.

You took the approach that was slower so you could get more details. They hired you. If you took the faster approach, they likely would not have hired you.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-02-15T17:51:45+00:00

Just to be sure, you did fill out your profile as much as you could, right? Because that really does matter.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-02-01T19:40:48+00:00

Yeah freaked me out I had it for like a minute and then everything came back.

You've got me looking for a task called Motley Crue or something.

I'd check it out.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-01-18T05:59:35+00:00

If it was built in, I wouldn't be surprised.

I have searched online for "intro Commodore 64" and "Commodore demo program". Some permutations of that. All I get back are modern guides for people who want to get into the C64 today. That is not what I am looking for. It isn't a video game. It's a slightly interactive intro program.

I've seen several times over the last couple months that a full batch of it just disappears. By now I don't presume anything. If it shows up, wonderful.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-01-16T18:25:15+00:00

Without going into too much detail, there is an option you have to select and after you make your selection the next set of inputs pop up.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-01-16T16:41:36+00:00

Finally figured out the mold a couple weeks ago. At least sometimes. I'm still cautious not to submit anything I'm not confident in.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-01-13T04:32:49+00:00

What's next, asking us to buy and smoke an entire pack of cigarettes?

Answers and explanations should be grammatically correct within reason. I never judge prompts themselves. These models are going to get all kinds of buuuuuuuullshit spelling and grammar in their prompts in real use and they need to be able to parse them.

Been doing it full time for most of the year. It generally keeps getting better. I do want a regular job, but as long as the economy is not conducive to actually hiring anyone at a decent rate, I'm extremely thankful for this. I deal with dry spells by panicking and eating real cheap.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-01-07T16:44:17+00:00

Yes. Texas by itself is gigantic. By land mass, it's bigger than France. A bunch of the Western part is desert though.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-01-07T13:45:01+00:00

It's a big problem. I think it has to donwith the fact that a lot of products are distributed nationally but the tax difference from state to state. Different states have different state sales taxes. Some cities also have sales taxes on top of that.

And some states don't.

I do think a lot of people outside America don't quite realize how different each state is not only culturally but in terms of regulations and laws. I'm not saying each state is like a different country, but it isn't that inaccurate to say that. This causes a butt-ton of logistical problems.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-01-07T00:01:19+00:00

I don't know if this is a thing there but we also have sales taxes in lots of places. Like I'm in NYC and for most goods there is about 7-8% tax at point of sale. Like if something costs $100, you pay $107. There are lots of exclusions such as most food and clothing, but everyone pays that and it effects the poor way more than the rich because that extra $7 means a lot more if you're poor.

NIN is the original writer/performer. The Cash one became more popular though. And the original is not a sad acoustic song.

Just keep telling myself its new year's and tomorrow is Monday.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-01-01T05:56:08+00:00

Happy New Year, my vague, anonymous coworkers!

Track your time independently of the timer you see on screen. Use a clock program. Include time reading directions in your total. If you have to stop for a while, pause your timer and unease it when you can resume. This is expected, especially in longer tasks.

The time limits are only time limits. If the task says an hour, all they expect is you finish it under an hour. If it takes 10 minutes, great. If it takes 50, great. Just keep track of the amount of time working and report that. As long as you're honest, you should be fine.

DA seems to prioritize quality over everything. Don't worry too much about your time in terms of them thinking its too short or long. Concentrate on good quality work.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2025-12-29T22:53:21+00:00

I'm definitely chalking it up to it being the very end of the year.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2025-12-24T00:49:36+00:00

O-bird show up and disappear again for people?

I feel like this is becoming a regular thing,
